Baker led Vanderbilt to a dominating 20-6 win at Lindenwood last Wednesday, finishing with five goals for the second time this season. The Raleigh, North Carolina, native helped power the Commodores with a first-quarter hat trick to its second 20-goal performance of the year.
Halleron, who finished with her second straight four-goal performance, picked up two ground balls and caused one turnover in the victory.

Commodores Quote of the Day
“Coach [Dick] Vermeil was a very tough football coach,” said Harrison. “He ran a tough camp. He was a very emotional guy, and I would say he still is an emotional guy. I can’t say enough about how much I respect him. I learned a lot from him through his system. Some of the things I learned from him I try to use in coaching today.”
